Through high and low temperature experiments, stability and reliability experiments and an HALT experiment, the power amplifier provided by the invention is low in power consumption, total working efficiency is 11%-12%, the requirement of the adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) is satisfied, working efficiency is high, and reliable and stable working of the power amplifier circuit and the low noise amplifier circuit is guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power amplifiers, in particular to a 10W multi-carrier power amplifier used in a 5G system base station. Background technique [0002] For 5G / 10W multi-carrier power amplifiers, due to the high requirements for adjacent channel rejection (ACPR), good linearity, and high efficiency, for four-stage amplifiers, how to choose the coordination of amplifier tubes at all levels in the design is a challenging problem. question. For the requirements of the efficiency index, the power amplifier tube of our final main amplifier stage can neither choose the power too large nor the power too small. If the power is too large, the power consumption will be large; if the power is too small, the requirement for adjacent channel suppression cannot be met. For power amplifiers with high efficiency requirements and high linearity index requirements, the power back-off technology alone cannot meet the index requirem...
